I wasn’t anXbox 360kid. My older brother owned one that I played all the time, but I’ve always been a PlayStation gal at heart. During this console generation, while everyone was playing Halo 3, I played all major exclusives and third-party titles on the underratedPS3, includingThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Obviously, I’ll be the first one to admit the PS3 wasn’t perfect. It was light on exclusives in its early years and was infamously hard to develop for, meaning third-party titles performed and looked worse than rival platforms....

I’m two soundbars in at this point, and theOXSbrand hasn’t done me wrong yet. Despite not being a major brand of audio equipment, I’ve found its speakers offer great quality and value for money, albeit with a few minor caveats. The Storm A2 is the first headset from OXS I’ve tried and it’s a similar story here. However, while there are still plenty of small victories to be celebrated, those minor caveats do begin to feel a little bit more major when the speakers are now pressing right up into your lug holes....

ThePokemonseries is home to over a thousand creatures of a variety of cool, cute and strong forms. With so many creatures, not all of them are beloved and while nearly every Pokemon is someone’s favorite, they don’t all get the same treatment when it comes to merchandise and appearances. TheTrading Card Gamehas given every Pokemon at least a single card and with many sets released every year, many fan favorites get multiple cards....

Summary Video games, trading cards, plushes, there are a lot of ways to catch ‘em all inPokemon. That hasn’t stopped The Pokemon Company from trying to create even more, and thanks to Funko’s new line of collectibles, it might have just discovered a new way to do so. That new way is Bitty Pops. Bitty Pops are still a relatively new phenomenon with Funko not releasing its first tiny replicas of its full-sized figures until 2023....

Video games are loaded with easter eggs. However, some of them are so well hidden, they might never be discovered, and none of us would be any the wiser. That’s unless the developers who put them there eventually cave and show us, which is exactly what one ofRatchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s designers has done. Rift Apart turned four on Wednesday, and to celebrate, its senior designer, Grant Parker, streamed the game live onInsomniac’s Twitch channel....

Quick Links If pets are what you love the most aboutRoblox’s Grow a Garden, you’ll be pleased to hear that in the latest Zen Event update that brings Corruption to our gardens, new pets have been added that all continue the Japanese theme. There are a few different ways in which to get the new pets, and it’s not straightforward to figure out which one is from where, so we’ll cover them all here, including the odds of getting them, and what their abilities are, too....

Horror games come in many varieties, with most of them involving paranormal entities such asghosts or monsters. However, there’s a genre of horror that explores themes of robots going rogue. After all, a scenario where human creations turn against them is the stuff of nightmares, but it can also take many creative directions. For instance, these games subvert the idea of robots being tools or helpers, often depicting stories where they are corrupted by someone or just following their crude, unfeeling logic....

A reliableSilent Hillinsider has claimed thatKonamihas wanted the series to be “near-annual” for some time, which could mean a new game every year. Considering how long the Silent Hill franchise was stuck in limbo over the past few decades, it’s been very impressive seeing Konami put so much effort into reviving it lately. Sure,Silent Hill: Ascension was a total let-down, butSilent Hill 2’s remake was surprisingly great, and theupcoming Silent Hill f looks to be another treat....

Kicking off with a new trailer atSummer Game Fest, 1047 Games' CEOunveiled a battle royale mode, while wearing a “Make FPS Great Again” hatand taking a dig atCall of Duty. Then,players hit back against a $80 cosmetic bundle- which was on sale, with an original price of $145 - as they felt that this was antithetical to the developer’s message....

If you’re reading this,there’s a high chance that you have a backlog of some kind, whether it be on a console or on PC. We’re all guilty of buying a game, putting it on a shelf or downloading it onto our systems, only for something else to come along and have us completely forget about it. Personally, the majority of mySteamlibrary is unplayed games that I keep swearing I’ll get around to at some point....

Supermanis the first film in the rebootedDCcinematic universe, so director James Gunn has much to prove. However, it looks like the creative overhaul is already paying off, as Superman’s first day in theatres has already made it a career high for Gunn. Better yet, there’s a good chance that it will outpace the last solo-Superman film, Man of Steel. As reported byDeadline, this is off the back of making $55 million in its first day, with the opening weekend takings projected to be in the range of $115-120 million....

Quick Links If you’ve been playingHonkai: Star Railfor a little while, you likely already know how easy it is to replace a DPS character by just changing the weakness of the enemies. However, it’s nearly impossible to replace the sustainers of the game since they’re highly flexible and can be used in the fourth slot of any team. While Hyacine might be a Remembrance character, her main role in the team is the same as any other sustainer since she can constantly heal her allies while removing their debuffs....
